Favorite Sax duo


Jazztropic

Recommended Posts

As I understand the thread title, it's duos with two saxes (and rhythm ad lib), not sax and another different instrument ....

Eruh...

Don't the examples in the first post suggest otherwise?

Wishful thinking ......

Well ..... I have one sax/piano track in mind but can't put it down .....

but usually I mentally edit out Buddy Rich and take Lester Young with Nat Cole as a duo. :g

Marsh and Konitz came to mind first.

Coltrane and Dolphy I like, Dolphy and Oliver Nelson, Dolphy and Ken McIntyre.

I have a very nice Don Schlitten produced MPS session with James Moody and Al Cohn.

There are lots of fine sax pairings ....

Right-o...

I'd also mention:

Lasha/Simmons

Shepp/Tchicai

Lacy/Potts

Wright/Howard

But of course, that was apparently not the intent of the thread (tho' I saw it that way).

I'd like to get that Monterose/Flanagan duo record one of these days.

Can't recall the title right now, and am not feeling like making enough keystrokes to look it up. But I suspect it's good...

A Little Pleasure - Reservoir 109

Too bad JR's Live in Albany album is in limbo. I assume that either Reservoir or Uptown has the rights to it. It was originally issued on Uptown, but then so was A Little pleasure - originally titled ... And a Little Pleasure. Perhaps Chuck can fill us in when he returns to the Board.
